The La Pine Urban Renewal Agency has launched a storefront improvement program to support local businesses with resources to help them succeed. The program partners with property owners and businesses to spruce up the exterior of buildings clearly visible from the street by offering design and construction assistance. This partnership will help the La Pine Business District revitalize and become more inviting to customers and residents. Eligible businesses must be located within the downtown overlay zone and follow Cascadian design guidelines.
The Storefront Improvement Program offers grants on a reimbursement basis, as follows: 20 percent match required for grants up to $5,000, and 50 percent match required for grants from $5,001-$20,000.
Eligible projects include:
- Masonry cleaning
- Work on cornices, gutters, and downspouts
- Exterior siding repair or replacement
- Exterior painting, along with other upgrades
- Accessibility improvement
- Repair, removal, or installation of canopies or awnings
- Window repair or replacement
- Hardware and/or mounting material for blade signs, monument signs and wall signs
- Structural upgrades
- Architectural fees
